M83, Erykah Badu, Okkervil River, Dirty Three

when you feel like you're in over your head

mp3:

M83: Teen Angst [zshare]
Air = The Virgin Suicides ; M83 = Life
A. Gonzalez creates the score to your every step. it's unreal.

Erykah Badu: That Hump [zshare]
when you feel like you'll never stop falling
when it feels like no one else has the same problems
when you're caught in a self-destructing cycle
when you fuck up the good things in your life
when you need someone to say what you can't/won't
...Erykah is there for you

Okkervil River: So Come Back, I Am Waiting [zshare]
this goes out to the black sheep boy in all of us.
choosing a couple of lines from
Will Sheff's masterpiece won't do it justice but i can't resist:

So come back to your old black sheep man.
He says “I am waiting on hoof and on hand.
I am waiting, all hated and damned.
I am waiting - I snort and I stamp.
I am waiting, you know that I am,
calmly waiting to make you my lamb."

Dirty Three: Sea Above, Sky Below [zshare]
not many songs can make me shudder like this one.
you begin to feel
uncomfortable in your skin after every chord
but then the song picks up a little pace
and you embrace the cold... with a fit of rage
and then the song is over. but you're still cold
